LAS VEGAS, Feb. 21, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- S2C Global Systems (OTCBB:STWG) (http://www.s2cglobal.com) has brought Convergitech, Inc. and AVC Canada Corporation together to initiate the first atmospheric water bottling plant in Africa and the second in the world. S2C previously announced (September 20, 2007) its first stage agreement with AVC Canada to provide its Aquaduct system to AVC's "Agua Cuilo" bottling plant in Luanda, Angola, and its supply agreement with Convergitech (January 31st, 2008). S2C facilitated an agreement whereby Convergitech acquires AVC Canada's 80% interest in Agua Cuilo, and agrees to fund the completion of the bottling plant including the related costs of the S2C Aquaduct system.
Convergitech intends to use its atmospheric water extraction technology to supply the water for bottling at the Cuilo plant. The Convergitech system harvests water from the atmosphere using integrated condensation/air handling technologies, eliminating the need to exploit aquifers and municipal water. This technology becomes critical in environments where fresh water is heavily contaminated or in short supply.
"The Convergitech acquisition and funding commitment to Agua Cuilo takes our initial agreement to the next level with both companies," says S2C's president Rod Bartlett. "We believe that the model S2C and Convergitech create in Luanda will contribute significantly to resolving the water crisis in many of the water challenged markets of the world."
